Every MCU Movie Tier List

by Julian Feb 20,2025

With the release of Captain America: Brave New World, it's time to revisit the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), now boasting 35 films. But which MCU film reigns supreme in your heart? Do you cherish the early origin stories like Iron Man? Or do you prefer the thrilling team-ups that culminated in the Infinity Saga? Share your preferences using our interactive tier list below.

The sheer number of films makes choosing difficult. Remember, this list encompasses only Kevin Feige's MCU productions, excluding Sony's Marvel ventures (sorry, X-Men—except Wolverine). Here's my personal ranking, based purely on enjoyment:

Sadly, Brave New World falls short of expectations for me, burdened by what I consider the MCU's clumsiest script to date, relegating it to the D tier. My placement of 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine in the lower tier might surprise some, but it simply didn't resonate with me. (You can find a detailed explanation here.) However, it's not the MCU's absolute worst; that dubious honor currently belongs to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, an easy D-tier entry.

Conversely, my top tier features five exceptional films. Captain America: Civil War and The Winter Soldier easily earn S-tier status, masterfully exploring the MCU's emotional core and paranoid espionage, respectively. Thor: Ragnarok stands out as one of the funniest comedies of the last decade, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame deliver a spectacular conclusion to the franchise's most crucial chapter.

Disagree? Believe Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best of the Tom Holland trilogy? Think Black Panther deserves an S-tier ranking? Create your own MCU tier list below and compare your rankings (S, A, B, C, and D tiers) with the IGN community.
